Variel's WotR

Game Master Neltji

I agree, a dedicated divine caster would be welcomed most heartily.

Hey all, I am on call this weekend and am on 30 minutes of sleep right now. Updates once I can see and think straight.

Thanks for bearing with me this weekend everyone. Had a long weekend being on call and when I thought I was in the clear got called in again last night and didn't get home till 5:30 in the morning only to have the family wake up at 6:30 to get ready for church.

Sorry again but I should be good to go now for the next 2 hours.

sorry you had to work so much... you must be exhausted... no pressure from us... get your rest if you need it.

Do what you got to do.

Real life can hit like a truck sometimes Variel - just make sure you rest as much as needed.

This weekend was also hectic for me - got held up by a mix of Valentine and weekend family activities

Let me know what you guys think of the applicants via PM if you want and I will make a choice tomorrow night.

Hey all thanks for selecting me. I have a really sucky internet connection due to just having moved so selecting an avatar would have taken me hours. I'll add it later.

Do we perhaps want to set up any IC connections between characters?

Samantha originally hails from Kenarabas so maybe she knows some of you already?

Welcome aboard.
Pakak does a little weaponsmithing, perhaps he did some work for her there? Other than that, not sure. He's a quiet one.

Welcome aboard Samantha.

Zeriax has also been around town for a while, after travelling from his mountain top monastery.

He would be found in town mostly gathering supplies, and information about military or scouting activities, joining almost any recruitment that would take him outside the borders of the city, and into the Worldwound itself - he has a pressing reason for that :D

Since he is also skilled at Crafting Bows, I also envisioned that he has done that kind of work, both for the curader camps outside the walls, but also as part time work within the city walls - after all, even a monk has got to eat :D

Maelchar is a member of the Zeru family, albeit adopted. He was raised to be a fervent follower of Iomedae. Although not a priest of the goddess, he does follow her precepts... He spent a lot of his time in the crusader practice yards, working with a variety of weapons and as a weaponcrafter like Pakak, spent time at the forge as well... Could have met anywhere in town though. He's not so serious about vows and such like Garith, so had his rakish years as well (though he's mostly outgrown them now).

Hah, mostly, eh mael?
Garith is a soldier from a line of Cavaliers and Low Templar, the Mordrand, not the most noble nor honorable line of crusaders, but still fighting the demons in the crusade and assets to the cause while in the field.
Distant relations with the Zeru family, sharing angelic blood, Garith is unlike the Mordrand family and has spent most of his time with the units to which he has been assigned, and the Zeru family. He is a kind soul, and devoted to his goddess, if somewhat conflicted when it comes to the smiting part of the war, save against the clearly evil. He's also not ambitious or interested in command but since hs has been underground I would like to think he's come into his own

Ryu is a mild-manner family-man/businessman who enjoy's travel, seeing things first, and enlightening conversations.

He's fairly relaxed and friendly, and is fairly easy-going.

He enjoy's the beach, sailing, swimming, and lots of action.

You'll get to know him better when you meet, though.

Thanks for the input guys. Not really sure how to RP Samantha quite yet. Guess it really depends how amiable all your chars are. I guess we could set up that a few of us are familiar with each other but not friends or anything. That would make establishing some mutual trust from the get go easier.

The nice thing with this ap is that assuming you are all crusaders in Kenebras, it is quite esy to get along right away. Plus I am hoping with the introduction of you that will dispel any thoughts of grudges, concerns, or hesitancy.

as a priestess of Sheylin, She may have noted Garith. He tended to sing with the troups or perform (that was my free rank) and definitely understands the appreciation for beauty taught by the goddess. He is just more strongly called to the quest of Iomadae. but he may have frequented sheylen's temples as a matter of aesthetic appreciation. dunno tho

For book work, Garith would you please credit Oriana's account for the Morningstar and make that available to the rest of the group. Then switch out Oriana's name and put in Samantha. That should keep everyone about equal on the same wealth level and is the easiest conversion for me. Once you meet with Samantha you will be in a position to seel and purchase new items.

@Garith: Sounds good! Samantha is quite the singer herself!

Guys, apologies on the hold up - my youngest is sick, and it has not been easy bringing her back to her usual kick ass self.

I understand, I was home all day myself with my oldest sick. Bad winter to say the least in regards to flu and colds.

Geeez... Tell me about it...

I remember those day... I feel for you both... Happily my son is married and out of the house now, so those days are long behind me... at least until grandkids come along (none yet, tho)

No update tonight, littlest one has RSV and taking care of her. To speed things up I will say Zeriax made his check and you made it to outside of the Defender's Heart without incident. You are coming up from the south.

Was taking a look at the loot list, I don't think there is a single thing in there that Zeriax would want, except maybe the 46 arrows :D

What is the balance that we are showing up top? Is that the potential value after selling loot, or hard cash?

Also, Zeriax is showing a statuette in his possession, but I don't remember having it.

For now, I guess what Zeriax wants is a MWK Composite Longbow (STR+2) - should be about 600gold - and definitely some cold iron and silver arrows. Cloak of Resistance would be cool, but I doubt we can afford it, and I don't know if the crusaders have them.

Hmm not sure if my post got eaten at some point but I'm unable to acces the loot sheet. Samantha would like a MWK Glaive and Breastplate.

I saw that post - don't think it got lost... I don't think anyone would object to you having those, my character couldn't use the glaive even if he wanted it (which he doesn't), and I already have a MW breastplate,which leaves one needing an owner... sounds good to me!

I'm not sure I understand exactly what's going on now... Are we clearing safe houses, or going to the grey garrison? Or doing both, but in what order? I'm a little confused I guess.

Samantha
I'll get your claiming of the Glaive and Armor on the list. I've left the List open to comments to those that view it, but not to editing due to the formula that I'm using to calculate everyhting. So I'll add all that in.

Mael
It looks like we can get healing here and still be able to head out to the tower today and return for the 7k reward, since we still have other abilities left for the day.

Then we can rest up and head for the garrison tomorrow when we'refresh and have gear, powers, and prep-time

Correct about finishing the safe houses today andgoing to the Grey Garrison at a later time. sorry for any confusion there Maelchar.

Also to Ryu, Garith has the right idea of the spoiler post to you. Master Orlun was contrite in his own way by saying 'thanks for what it was worth meaning'. He is just tired of people seeing the gray hairs and assuming he needs help.

There are 25+ low level paladins at the Heart so LoH is not a problem for healing. It is the channels and the higher level healing that is problematic.

Samantha, the loot list is read only to every but Garith as he can make changes. Works easier that way so there are no accidental deletions or additions.

Hey everyone, was wondering if you could do me a for and send me your email addresses to Nelson.vandenhoek@sanfordhealth.org

There are some things I want to run past you that are coming up and I will have time at work to send emails but not be on the iPad. Thanks in advance.

e-mail sent ;)

Ok guys, it is time to resupply - what exactly are we gong to sell, and how much money exactly do we have?

i'll post tomorrow about loot and stuff.

hey, wasn't able to check everything today, but i'm trying to check the accounting. Have to check the pricing on our latest haul, but if you take a Look at the Balance colum on the list it shows what you have.

We talked aobut selling of some of the gear to the Descendants, and possibly donating some, but i never noted it...

we could have gotten rid of the whole set that's north of The radiance.
Im taking a look at the pricing and stuff right now. Garith had supported equiping the descendants, especially with their cheap stuff, Leather and Padded armor, basic weapons, etc. but that wouldn't really impact our wealth. And the 7k we get after the tower means more cash.

so check the balance column for what you can get in terms of share of the loot

OK, got the loot list set. Still need to add the gear values of the gear from our last encounter, and i had all the gear from before the radiance cleared out.

Var, that gear came to 900 gp total, so we were able to sell it all to the Descendants. All the values of the sold gear have been removed from the column and are accounted for as gold. I'll add the values of the prayer-book.

Now, as long as the bolded TOTAL in the balance column is non-zero, we're good. If you buy something, the cash comes out of the CASH sections of the list, so as long as that section is Non-Zero we're still good.

lemme know if you don't get anything
Finances:
Garith: -1612 because of the Radiance being 4.5k
Mael has 1214
Sam gets 1064[edited] to start
Pakak gets 889
Zeriax has 1201

edit - Ryu: 1178
Thanks Mael
SOmeone gan get the Cloak of Resistance for 500.
One option is to Have special items tracked seperatly as not to skey the shares of wealth unless we sell them.
The Radiance is double the cost of the most expensive item, so it inflates the shares we have, and pushes Garith deep into the negative.

Or i could pull the Radiance off the list as it seems special, and claim it later, and then we are on more even footing...

Did you leave Ryu off the list Garith?

Mael would very much like the cloak of resistance for 500, but if someone else wants it, I'm not gonna fight over it.

Also, did you note that Sam wanted the MW breastplate and the MW glaive.

any thoughts on bumping the Radiance off of personal property? Just cause Garith is the only one that uses Heavy armor and shields, and it'd be a waste to sell them.

I can add the radiance later, jsut so we have a clearer picture cause Garith is really deep in the red cause of the blade, financially

I forgot to include this as part of Orlun's tale but he will look not the Brazen Head. He and Irabth will offer the group 3250 for it and ensure that if it can't be converted to good that it will be properly disposed of. That should be another 500+ gp each now for people to use.

Garith, does the total also include Gwerm's reward money for keeping him safe. It was a total of 3000gp.

No.
So I'll add 3k from Gwerm, and the cash from te head, and can also add in the MWK equipment from the last encounter. Then after we hit the Tower Garith'll be at wealth.

Zeriax, you can totally afford a bow. I'll get the loot costed out, and if anyone wants to, during the day, post comments on the sheet of the value of the last chunk of gear under the Radiance, I'll be able to input it in the sheet and get everyone their actual shares more easily.

Var, can we use Retraining Rules at all, perchance eventually? to switch out feats at later levels, do you think?

I will have to look at the rules before I give you an answer.

Hey all just giving a heads up that the mythic rules are on the d20pfsrd website. It should have everything you need to know about the different mythic paths. By no means do we have to have all 6 covered so people can duplicate paths. There are plenty of options available between mythic feats and abilities that you won't be copying each other. If you want to start discussing them go ahead or asking me questions about them as well.

So the Mythic Path - as I understand it - requires us to at least level.

Is that in our future at some point then, or is it more for the long run?

You won't get mythic till 6th level but since it is a new rule set I am getting a jump start on it so we are ready when the time happens. You will get to 4th level after you clear out the tower and topaz solutions safe houses.

Maelchar will probably be going Heirophant as it seems to suit him best.

obviously Garith is going to be a trickster
and by that i mean Guardian. some of the synergies between his Sacred Shield and Guardian abilities are pretty sweet. I'll post stuff tomorrow if i can, but i got my RL game. I've not had a chance to finish the loot list yet... but i'm all gear-ed up

Apologies for the absent posting guys - yesterday I was totally worn out, and simply crashed when I got home.

Can i assume I will sell the gear I do not want to keep at half the price?

Hey all just a quick note, my wife's grandma passed away this week and will be traveling this weekend for the funeral. I should have Internet at the hotel but won't know when I will be on for updates. I will still try to get at least one update on each campaign each day though.

Zeriax and others purchasing items...

If the item in question is not in the core rulebook roll a percentile check.
Items under 100gp there is a 75% chance you find it
Items 100-500gp there is a 50 % chance and
Items over 500gp is a 25% chance.

Although Kenebras is a large city the war effort and situation results in not always having what you want at that exact time. It you can't find something you can either find someone to make it for you or ask around about who may know where that item is located.

Sorry to hear about your loss... No problems if posts get held up under the circumstances... you need to be there for your loved ones.
